LUCKNOW, Dec. 4 -- With the deadline for uploading Waqf documents on the UMEED portal ending on December 5, the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) has sought an urgent meeting with minister of state for minority affairs George Kurian, citing the portal's slow functioning, frequent crashes, and other technical difficulties. In a press statement on Wednesday, AIMPLB spokesperson SQR Ilyas said, "After the Supreme Court refused to extend the deadline, Mutawallis across the country rushed to upload Waqf properties on the portal. However, reports have been pouring in from everywhere that the UMEED portal is repeatedly crashing, slowing down, and at times stopping entirely. Evidently, it is almost impossible to upload lakhs of properties within such a short period. Therefore, the board decided to immediately seek a meeting with the minister of state for minority affairs, draw his attention to these difficulties, and request not only that the technical issues be resolved but also that the deadline be extended." A letter in this regard was sent to the minister via both email and post by AIMPLB general secretary Maulana Mohammad Fazlur Raheem Mujaddidi, the spokesperson said. In his letter, the general secretary reminded the minister that the government itself intended that all Waqf properties already registered with the Waqf Boards must be uploaded on the portal. However, due to the portal's slow speed and other technical problems, this could not be achieved. Moreover, the period given for uploading more than eight lakh properties was too short....
